Figure 6.26, “Tmpbeis3 input and output files” shows the input and output files for the Tmpbeis3 program. The input files include the gridded, normalized biogenic emissions from Normbeis3 (B3GRD
) and, if BIOSW_YN
= Y, then a gridded, seasonal switch file output from Metscan is required (BIOSEASON
). The biogenic speciation profiles are read from the GSPRO
file and the GRID_CRO_2D
contains the latitude and longitute for each grid cell. Tmpbeis3 reads surface pressure and radiation/cloud data from MET_FILE1
and optionally from MET_FILE2
if BIOMET_SAME
= N.
Tmpbeis3 outputs gridded, speciated, hourly biogenic emissions files in moles/hour (B3GTS_L
) and tons/hour (B3GTS_S
). The program also outputs an execution log file (LOGFILE
).
File Name | Format | Description |
---|---|---|
B3GRD |
I/O API NetCDF | Gridded, normalized biogenic emissions, output from Normbeis3 |
BIOSEASON (optional)
|
I/O API NetCDF | Gridded seasonal switch file containing daily data, with “0” meaning use winter normalized emissions and “1” meaning use the summer normalized emissions, produced by Metscan |
GSPRO |
ASCII | Speciation profiles file (do not use the same profiles used in SMOKE-BEIS2; use profile named “BV309”) |
GRID_CRO_2D |
I/O API NetCDF | Meteorology file containing latitude and longitude coordinates for each grid cell |
MET_FILE1 |
I/O API NetCDF | Meteorology file containing temperature and surface pressure data and possibly radiation/cloud data as well (see BIOMET_SAME environment variable)
|
MET_FILE2 (optional)
|
I/O API NetCDF | Meteorology file containing radiation/cloud data if not in MET_FILE1 |
BG_CLOUD_TYPE
: [default: 1]
Specifies which meteorological data to use.
1: Use RGND or RSD (solar radiation reaching the ground) from MM5 to calculate PAR. No other options are supported at this time.
BIOG_SPRO
: [default: BV309]
Specifies the speciation profile for biogenic emissions from GSPRO.
BIOMET_SAME
: [default: N]
Defines whether the radiation/cloud data are in the same file as the temperature data (MET_FILE1
) or in a different file (MET_FILE2
).
BIOSW_YN
: [default: Y]
Indicates whether to use a gridded seasonal switch file.
Y: Use gridded seasonal switch file BIOSEASON
N: Use environment variable SUMMER_YN
to determine season
OUTZONE
: See description in Section 6.12.3.2, “Input Environment Variables”
PRES_VAR
: [default: PRSFC]
Specifies the variable name for surface pressure data to extract from MET_FILE1
.
RAD_VAR
: [default: RGRND]
Specifies the variable name for radiation/cloud data to extract from either MET_FILE1
or optional MET_FILE2
.
SUMMER_YN
: [default: Y]
Indicates whether summer or winter normalized emissions should be used; only used when BIOSW_YN
is N.
Y: Use summer normalized emissions
N: Use winter normalized emissions
TMPR_VAR
: [default: TA]
Specifies the variable name for temperature to extract from MET_FILE1
.
